This is what I make to keep at my desk at work.  You could add more/less
chiles or different kinds as your heat and flavor preference dictates.  I
generally leave out the habanero unless I also plan to add in some Grand
Mariner or something simmilar to play off the fruity flavor.  Being of the
moderate persuasion, the recipe as listed is sufficient to warm me up on a
snowy day like today.

Enjoy


2 Hot Chocolate Mix:

2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Dutch Process cocoa
2 1/2 cups powdered milk
1/2 teas salt
1 3/4 teas cornstarch
1 dried habanero, ground (optional)
2 dried cayennes, ground
2 dried thai hots, ground


Combine all ingredients in a tupperware bowl.  Place lid on, shake
viggorously for 45 seconds.  Keep sealed in an airtight container.


To make cocoa, fill mug about 1/3-1/2 full of mixture.  Add enough hot
water while stirring/mashing to make a smooth paste.  When paste is smooth
and doesn't contain lumps of dry powder, add water to fill mug up.  Stir.
